Yea, I know...but I just hate when people throw that out there to actually suggest that is what we think.

Well as I have said...those that come at you so strong may be ill informed. Some are more militant in than views concerning religion but they in no way speak for all of us.
You and I have had long debates over the nature of Yeshua but If I didn't tell you, you'd think I was a theist. As I engage in a discussion/debate on this forum or anywhere else I treat others as though they actually believe the stuff in their books so I meet them on their level to discuss what they believe. In our discussions I never say that their prophets or deity(s) don't exist or never have. When a theist meets me on my level to discuss my views then you may hear me say some thing like that. As athiest we should respect your lifestyle.....but we reserve the right disagree with you.

Dawkins is not a spokes person for atheism. His views are his own. We just so happen to agree with a lot of them....

So far I don't see that there is any problem with this part of his quote.

Since he made this statement while being alive how would he know?
Some of his statements, I wouldn't have said, but again....these are his statements. Again, some atheist are more militant in their views and it is not nor should it be the way (All) atheist judged.

Some.......but not all of us think or feel this way.
